<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moonshine, post: 1350369, member: 26632&quot;]Here&#039;s a good explanation: <a href="http://snorkack.nfshost.com/fw295/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://snorkack.nfshost.com/fw295/" rel="nofollow">http://snorkack.nfshost.com/fw295/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Notes printed in Fort Worth can be identified by two distinctive features: A small &quot;FW&quot; facility mark appears just before the face plate number, and the back plate number is printed in large type. (The plate numbers, which identify the specific printing plates which produced a given note, are found in the lower right area of each side of the note on most denominations.)</p><p><br /></p><p>During the production of Series 1995 $1 notes, however, one printing plate was engraved incorrectly. Back plate #295, intended for use at the Fort Worth facility, was accidentally engraved with the smaller-size plate number usually used for Washington, DC&#039;s plates. The error was not noticed at the BEP, and plate #295 was used in production in Fort Worth for several months.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a result, all Series 1995 $1 notes printed with this back plate will have the &quot;FW&quot; facility mark on the face, but a small-size plate number &quot;295&quot; on the back--a combination which should not occur. These notes are now known as Fort Worth 295 errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
